Respectfully

Guanbei City in 2019 AD

As the foundation of the Lou family, Guanbei City remains the same as before.

On Taiping Street, a few hundred meters away, there are row upon row of antique buildings, with ancient guises fluttering in the wind, shop assistants in old-fashioned clothes raised their voices, and greeted tourists with familiar local accents.

There is a sign in front of each shop, either painted on a wooden board or carved from a stone.

Walking into the store, you will find old photos from the last century and pictures with traces of time hanging on the wall.

Some were cut from newspapers, and some were cut from magazines.

Lou's father and son in military uniforms and Li Jinyan in long gowns are always placed in the most conspicuous positions.

Even after being framed and cared for, the pages and photographs are yellowed.

Through the glass, you can still feel the splendor and passion of a hundred years ago.

"This shop opened in 1903. The first shop owner was good at pastry. He started by selling buns and steamed buns, and later opened a restaurant. It is said that the president of the Liao family liked the steamed dumplings in the shop the most..."

A group of tourists enters the store and ascends to the second floor.

The tour guide is a young man in his early twenties, with broad shoulders and long legs, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and extra spirit.When talking about the history of Guanbei City, it was even more eloquent, which made people's eyes widen, as if they were actually there.

"At that time, led by Li Sanshao, Guanbei City started a large-scale industry, attracting merchants and foreign buyers from all over the world."

"My ancestors fled to the outside of the pass. My great-grandfather said that he couldn't survive on the way. It was his own sister who bought him in exchange for a few catties of rations and made it to Guanbei City." The voice of the tour guide became lower and lower, and everyone gradually retreated. smiled.

"Later, my great-grandfather's family worked in the city, and the youngest brother of my great-grandfather went to school."

"Great-grandfather said that without Li Sanshao back then, there would not be thousands of lives that crossed the border."

Having said that, a discordant voice suddenly came from the crowd.

A handsome man in his twenties, but with extremely thin lips, said meanly, "What kind of philanthropist, it's just a cover! To make money from the country, to subsidize warlords, it is clearly written in the declassified information that he and foreign countries People do business, what patriotism! Without the Lou family, he is nothing!"

The look of the tour guide changed, and the tourists were divided into two factions. One faction thought the young man was talking nonsense, while the other thought it was justified.

While they were arguing, there was a sudden commotion outside the store.

It turned out that the two guys on the opposite side had made a plan, just as you were arguing with each other: when Marshal Lou led the cavalry to greet the bride and passed through the street, was the Siberian tiger that Li Sanshao married as a male or a female?

The two stores have been open for a hundred years, and there were some emotional disputes back then, but now they are no longer enemies.

Disputes like this among the guys are repertoires, and they will be staged every few days in order to attract tourists and tell a good story about the history of Guanbei City.

"What does a group of nonsense know! It's not that Qiu Bahuo in their mouth is going to die, they still have the ability to talk nonsense everywhere?!"

"What oppresses other countries, what hegemonism?! Don't look at what the country was like before World War I!"

"Pick up the bowl to eat, put down the bowl of scolding goods! You shouldn't let these things live freely, and throw them all to the place of war. You know how difficult today is!"

"I bother!"

There are more than a dozen people living on Taiping Street. They were all orphans in Guanbei City back then. They witnessed the century-old history of the country with their own eyes. They were even hugged by Li Jinyan.

In the restaurant, the tour guide glanced at the sarcastic young man, not in the mood to argue with him at all.

It's useless to talk about such a person every now and then.

Why don't you continue explaining what happened back then, and let people know what Guanbei City and Li Sanshao were like through his mouth and the experience of his ancestors!

At the end of Taiping Street, in a teahouse, several teenagers were sitting by the window. They were all fifteen or sixteen years old, full of vigor and heroism.

A young man propped his chin with one hand, tapped the chessboard on the table, and said: "The one surnamed Long, see if you see it, I won!"

Long Jue glanced at the chessboard, then at his complacent opponent, picked up a sunspot with his slender fingers, and landed on the chessboard with a bang.

The young man watching the chess immediately laughed, "Ma Yan, you can't beat him."

"Song, don't watch the show, play a game with me if you are capable!"

"Okay." Song Yixin agreed, Dama Jindao sat down and resumed the battle.

On the other side, a young man was sitting by the window, with a slender and tall figure and a handsome appearance, regardless of his grade, he actually resembled the Lou Brothers back then.

Liao Qi walked to the window and followed his line of sight. There were only pedestrians on the street, and nothing unusual was seen.

"Louis, what are you looking at?"

"It's nothing." Lou Xuan turned around and said, "I will enter the military academy next year, how about you?"

"Together."

"Not inheriting the family business?"

"I have six brothers above me!" Liao Qi said with a smile, ignoring the other's raised eyebrows, "My grandfather nodded and said that if he could imitate himself, he would give Liao's parents a face. Didn't you see, The faces of my brothers are so wonderful!"

His voice was not low, and the teenagers all looked over and couldn't help laughing after hearing his vivid explanation.

Downstairs in the teahouse, a tourist happened to look up, and seeing the young man upstairs, he couldn't help being dazed for a long time.

The phoenix bone is in the posture of a dragon, and the swan stands still.

It is really a blessing to see five at a time.

Several girls took out their mobile phones and wanted to take pictures on the spot.Then he held the photo and whispered, saying that the trip was worthwhile.

In the evening, Taiping Street became more and more lively.

Lanterns were hung in front of shops, and people were noisy in restaurants and teahouses.

Walking in the process, it seems to be back a hundred years ago, and entered the era of prosperity intertwined with suffering, young people with pride, soldiers with fierce ambitions, and the nation struggled from suffering and stood upright.

As time goes by, Long Street remains the same.

When the hustle and bustle dissipated, the candlelight was extinguished, and there seemed to be rumbling horseshoes at the end of the street.

The streets paved with blue stones were covered with auspicious snow, the pitch-black steed spread its hooves, the young commander was holding a whip, and the scarlet lining of the cloak was turned out. In his arms, the young man in a long gown had a face like a crown jade, raised his head, his eyes were deep, and his lips were soft. With a smile on the side, with the sound of horseshoes going away, like a silhouette, it melted into history in an instant, and disappeared without a trace.
